Still better off then Gen Z lol. At least Entry-level jobs existed back then, making it possible to gain experience without needing to have it prior to entering the workforce.

you forgot the part where they keep changing thier hiring practices, ooh you need x amount of experience for entry level, ,,,,etc.

What if we flipped all our appliances on and off at the same time to make the grid crash and take the data centers down with them?

There's some fringe religious/spiritual stuff I don't wanna share too much about but it talks about the world needing suffering and everytime I think it through it seems more plausible to me

It's exactly right. I spend 4 years studying programming for it to be invalidated by AI (I don't think so personally but managers do, and even so entire teams just spam approve Claude PRs so it's unavoidable)

I earn lots of money just in time for the recession arc where everything costs 5x as much as it used to

Robot Chicken?

You can tell this is a leftist meme because it's got half a novel's worth of text on it.

man, I don't need this existential crisis this early in the morning.

Strange, lived in capitalist societies all my life, yet none of these seem familiar (except climate change).

Let's see who's really behind that mask!

Glad I went to university in Australia where "really expensive" isn't a problem for domestic students.

For citizens, the government subsidizes it and pays 50-80% of the cost depending on the course (higher priority areas have better coverage). The remaining cost can be covered by an interest-free loan through the government (called HECS-HELP), and you only have to start paying off the loan once you earn more than AU$70k/year, which removes a lot of the stress. The repayments are automatically withheld by your employer as tax, the same way they withhold income tax.

(even though there's no interest, the loan is indexed for inflation once per year)

Most millennial I've met have been professionals who are not in stem, but i understand the top panel to be true of Zoomers. Doesn't mean anyone followed through on it though, when choosing college degree 🥲

That said - why should they? Degree seems to have not much influence on what people do as a career in my country.

Climate change was already coming since before the first panel

Two questions

1. Is this from Twisted Toyfare Theater?

2. Is someone still making those Mego comics?

These problems in this comic strip were not caused by capitalism, they were caused by finance.

Since the 70s, the boomer generation borrowed and borrowed and borrowed from their children's future and sacrificed their unborn children and grandchildren to live their cheap low labour lifestyles. The pumped the markets with cheaper and cheaper fake dollars to fund wars, juice markets and build their dreams.

Now the bill is coming due and you are going to pay one way or another.

Blame Keynesianism, blame Nixon, blame Reagan and blame the selfish me-first generation for not thinking past the backs of their refrigerators or past the ends of their filthy tailpipes.
